A Calculated Dialectic?
Church historians and analysts often point out that Pope Francis deliberately utilizes a methodology of creating tension to prompt movement within the Church. By leading with an indisputably orthodox theological foundation, he establishes safety parameters.

This allows him to advance a progressive, highly inclusive pastoral agenda while legally shielding his office from formal charges of teaching explicit, ex-cathedra heresy. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
